In the end, they went for a walk in a nearby park. After finding that there were more people in the park than usual, they went to the video store.
At this time, a lot of the music playing on the road came from the Internet. In fact, Internet music in the mainland appeared before the millennium, and then developed further. It was not until 2004 that it started to develop with the development of the domestic Internet. Fast lane.
Later, many familiar Internet songs basically appeared in the past few years, which can also be regarded as a process of music from "professionals" to grassroots.
In later generations, many singers have used the Internet as their first platform. In addition to the gradual decline of the physical platform, this is related to the expansion of the online platform and its penetration into the crowd, and its users have also expanded to include the elderly and children.
And since the platforms have changed, naturally no one will talk about online music at that time.
We are all just making a living here, how can you still say that you are so much nobler than me?
But at this time, online songs are still looked down upon by many people, and are even considered "inappropriate".
Including the so-called "Big Three of QQ Music" later, they were able to stand up later for no more than two reasons. The generation who listened to their songs grew up and gradually had a say. In addition, facts proved that professional music can also be big. Even if it is vulgar, online music can also be refined.
There is no distinction between high and low people who write songs. They all create spiritual food for the public. Can you say who is more elegant, steamed buns or rice noodles?
Then there is no distinction between high and low among those who listen to the music, and there is no need for the audience to have a strong sense of empathy. They feel that the music they listen to is elegant, just as they themselves are also a little more noble.
However, with the release of Jay Chou's new album in November last year, although the album called "I'm Very Busy" received a lot of criticism, the so-called Zhou Lang has exhausted his talents and was once again released as scheduled, and the market was also filled with a lot of criticism. .
Especially the style of the theme song, many people find it weird and uncomfortable to listen to.
In the past, they were the ones who felt that there were no surprises and had not changed. However, when there were changes, they began to dislike it. They felt that the previous style was better and they were really difficult to maintain.
But these so-called professional comments have not affected at all the songs in the album that have begun to dominate the speakers of commercial streets. Among them, in addition to the heavily promoted title song Cowboys Are Busy, "Sweet" and "Blue and White Porcelain" should have the highest probability of being requested. Yes.
However, at this time, blue and white porcelain had not really spread to the streets. It was only when Jay Chou performed on the stage during the Spring Festival Gala two months later that this song replaced nunchucks and became the most popular song about Jay Chou in the eyes of many older people. New impressions.
After all, Jay Chou relies on fast songs to gain young audiences, and then uses Chinese style to penetrate the middle-aged and elderly groups.
Of course, generally speaking, he still has a wall with middle-aged and elderly audiences, unless his fans have also become middle-aged and elderly.
In fact, in terms of singers and songs, each generation has its own version of what they think is the best. There is really no need to compare across generations, just listen to your own songs with peace of mind.
When Li Yong and Zhu Suosuo came over, the video store was also playing Jay Chou's new album on a loop, and it happened to be the album's title song "Cowboys Are Busy." Zhu Suosuo frowned, and then commented sharply: "I'm passive about this song. I’ve listened to it many times, but I still don’t like it.”
Li Yong saw what she was looking for when the new album was released, and asked: "Then which song in the album do you like?"
"Well, if I have to say it, let's make Dandelion's promise."
This album has been out for two months, and the school has not missed it, so although Zhu Suosuo doesn't like Jay Chou very much, he has basically listened to it, so of course he is qualified to evaluate it.
Li Yong smiled, "Is it because of that movie?"
Jay Chou is indeed very busy. Compared with later when he was lazy and just played all day long, now he looks like he is working hard.
Not only did he release a new album this year, he also released his own directorial debut, "The Secret That Cannot Be Told," which he wrote, starred in. The song "Dandelion" was released along with the new album after rewriting the lyrics of the original soundtrack.
When Li Yong was in high school, he bought the DV of this movie, and then got involved with a senior piano student because of the "secret" song included in it.
Of course, the ending determines that this is generally a sad story. Looking back now, Li Yong is still a little embarrassed.
He suddenly felt sad here. Zhu Suosuo just responded, and then seemed to find the album he wanted, picked it up and started reading.
Li Yong took a look at it and saw that it seemed to be a collection of classic songs released by Warner Records. This was another swindling exercise.
Both Zhu Suosuo and Jiang Nansun seem to prefer old songs. Their families have been deeply influenced by Hong Kong movies and stars since childhood, and they are not very interested in these singers and movie stars from the beginning of the century.
Li Yong doesn’t have an absolute preference in this area. He can accept the current songs and also discover many surprises from the past. However, he gradually stopped listening to the songs later because they no longer have the same taste. Or maybe It's probably because he himself has reached the age of nostalgia.
"By the way, are you interested in singing it yourself?"
After shopping around in the video store, Zhu Suosuo still didn't buy anything, but Li Yong bought a copy of "I'm Very Busy" for himself.
Without him, I have been prostituted for free in reality. Now that I happened to meet it, I just supported the sales of one piece.
Zhu Suosuo seemed to suddenly remember that Li Yong could also compose and sing. Although she didn't know that Li Yong was going to record songs during the winter vacation, she felt that he could develop into a singer if he wanted to. .
This is also a happy worry for him. He knows too many things, but he doesn't know what to do better.
Thinking about it, I suddenly feel angry...
"Forget it, I have a big white voice, I'm afraid it will kill someone if I sing."
"If you don't sing well, you can fix the sound. Besides, it's just recording songs and you don't need to go out to perform. You can just contribute your voice."
So many actresses have released albums. The so-called "acting and singing are good", do you really think that they have singing skills?
But it’s just a trend in this era to cross over and follow the trend. After all, the more you get involved in one industry, the more money you can make, and after you release a song, you can perform it in commercials. If one of your songs becomes popular, that would be even better.
In this era where celebrities' net worth is quite acceptable - at least compared to what they were later - if celebrities want to make more money, they can't just sit in front of the camera and talk the talk, they still need to pay a little more.
How is it like later, if you want to make money, you can make money, if you want to get the system, you can use the system, and if you take the opportunity, you can turn around and mock him, and then "slightly", you can't do anything about him.
"What do you mean?"
"What it means is that I'm going to record a song and take you to play with me and sing along for the fun of it. If you don't feel good about it, the worst thing you can do is not release it then and just keep it for yourself to listen to. "
Hearing what Li Yong said, Zhu Suosuo was really moved.
Seeing that she was still a little hesitant, Li Yong added: "You are not in a hurry to answer me. It will only start during the winter vacation anyway. You can think about it and then reply to me."
Zhu Suosuo nodded, but asked curiously: "You don't want to release an album, right?"
"What, can't it?"
"Well..." Zhu Suosuo couldn't say anything, and suddenly felt that the gap between him and himself seemed to be getting wider and wider.
In the past, she felt that Li Yong could never catch up with Jiang Nansun, but she felt that if she lowered her requirements, then she and Li Yong could still be compatible. Now she found that if Li Yong continued to develop like this, Jiang Nansun would not be mentioned in the future, let alone herself. It may not even be possible to watch it.
Now he likes Jiang Nansun, maybe it's just a passion from his youth, and he hasn't received a response yet. Who knows when the blood will turn cold.
Zhu Suosuo suddenly fell into silence. Li Yong glanced at her, bumped her shoulder and said, "What's wrong? Why did you suddenly stop talking and pretend to be cold?"
Zhu Suosuo came back to his senses, rolled his eyes immediately and said, "If you don't want to talk, just say no. Why am I pretending to be cold?"
"Tsk tsk...the cinema is here! Let's see what movies are available now..."
At this time, there were only two blockbusters showing in the cinema, "Assembly Number" and "Vote".
At this time, there is actually no emphasis on New Year's Eve or New Year's Day releases, and not many people are deliberately competing for this time slot. Both of these films were released in mid-to-late December, and their stamina has almost passed by now.
The main reason is that the tone of these two movies is not suitable for such festive days, and it is a good thing that they were not released during the Spring Festival, otherwise they would be scolded to death.
Naturally, Li Yong would not choose these two films. The main reason is that a tragedy is a tragedy, and it is not a love tragedy. In the end, after looking at it, he chose "Where the Flute Sounds".
In fact, there was a comedy called "Bang Zi Tiger Chicken" in the theater that was well promoted. Unfortunately, Li Yong was disgusted when he saw the dwarf in the lead role, so he chose a romance movie.
After coming in, I found that the attendance rate was not high. Also, this movie did not have any popular stars. Although Mr. Xie was remembered by many people for his roles in Yang Guang and Jiu Jianxian, he did not have much box office appeal.
This film also seems to have an older formula, and the only thing that attracts people is the well-shot scenery inside.
But in the end, what left a deeper impression on Li Yong and Li Yong was the couple in the back row who started chewing each other directly on the seats.
When Li Yong saw the man, he seemed to wink at him, as if to say, "Brother, hurry up and seize the opportunity." Then, before the movie was finished, he was pulled out by Zhu Suosuo.
"What are you doing? I'm watching a movie. Two tickets, don't waste them." Although Li Yong was pulled by her, he still kept arguing.
Zhu Suosuo immediately stopped and let go of his hand, saying, "Then go back and see for yourself. I'll wait for you here."
Li Yong hesitated for a moment, then sighed and said, "Forget it, this movie is not interesting anyway."
Zhu Suosuo became obviously happy, and Li Yong asked again: "Why were you so anxious to come out just now? They are doing their own thing and it has nothing to do with us."
Zhu Suosuo glanced at him and hummed: "Who knows if it matters, what if you are also inspired by your animal nature? By then it will be too late for me to run away."
As she said that, she turned around to look at Li Yong's expression, but she saw Li Yong making a grimace and baring his teeth. She was really frightened, and when she reacted, she immediately punched Li Yong and started to dodge, and said angrily: "You Come again, sooner or later I will be scared to death by you!"
Li Yong smiled and said: "If you are really scared to death, I will pay for it with my life."
"Then what if you weren't scared to death and went insane?"
"Then I will support you for the rest of my life. Anyway, I am not short of money. I just want to add a pair of speedsters to my family..."
"What if the body is just frightened, for example, paralyzed with fright..."
"Then I must still take care of you..." Li Yong turned back and glared at her, and said angrily: "The more you talk, the more outrageous you are. You might as well say that you were frightened to the point of amnesia, and then you only remember me - shoot What about idol dramas?”
Zhu Suosuo chuckled. Of course she was not really angry, but Li Yong had scared her. Of course she wanted to return it.
It's just that the movie ended early before the movie was finished. Li Yong looked at the sky and said, "It didn't feel like it lasted long, but it was going to be dark all of a sudden. Shall I take you back?"
Zhu Suosuo also felt very sorry and did not refuse.
However, Li Yong did not call a car to take her away as she thought, but walked with her. Thinking about it, it is not very far to walk back here, so just go, you can stay with him for a while longer.
"Wait, is that..."
Li Yong looked in the direction Zhu Suosuo pointed. Because the light there was a little dark, he didn't know how Zhu Suosuo recognized the person over there.
But seeing Zhu Suosuo running over the next moment, Li Yong hurriedly followed. After all, the situation over there didn't seem to be something she could handle.
"Stop!" Zhu Suosuo didn't think much at all. Seeing his cousin Luo Jiaming here, seemingly being beaten, he immediately ran over and shouted first.
From the swaying light and shadow, it could be seen that there were about three people here, and the one who was rolling around on the ground just now was punching and kicking.
Li Yong felt a little headache when he saw Zhu Suosuo being so reckless from behind, so he quickly shouted over there in a rough voice: "Hey, what are you doing over there?"
Originally there was only Zhu Suosuo, who was still a girl, so of course the other party was not very afraid, but when they heard Li Yong's voice, the three of them hesitated and ran away first in the shadows.
This was a smart move. After all, they didn't know if there was anyone else behind them, and they didn't know if Li Yong was the policeman called by the girl.
And after all, this is not a remote area. If the commotion continues and attracts more people, they still won't be able to get away with it. If they get into trouble, they will be in trouble, so the best strategy is to stay away.
When Zhu Suosuo saw that the other party was frightened away by Li Yong, he looked back at him and quickly stepped forward to help Luo Jiaming, who was lying on the ground and looking for glasses.
Li Yong now confirmed that it was Luo Jiaming, which was a little strange. After all, in his impression, although Luo Jiaming had been "bullied" in school, it was more of an ignorant and slapstick kind of thing, not to the level of bullying. .
And he usually doesn't get involved in any shady things, so there is no reason for him to interact with those people.
The most important thing is, why is he here at this time?
Seeing Zhu Suosuo helping Luo Jiaming up, Li Yong quickly stepped forward to help.
Before high school, women develop faster and earlier. When high school begins, boys gradually catch up and surpass girls. Although Zhu Suosuo is tall and has a bold temperament, this does not affect her physical strength, which is a weakness.
Besides, Luo Jiaming doesn't look thin, he's just not that tall.
"I don't want your help!"
Unexpectedly, after Luo Jiaming raised his eyes and saw clearly that it was him, he hesitated and suddenly shook off his hand.
Not to mention Zhu Suosuo, Li Yong was also very surprised.
